Clear and cold day. I was dressed perfectly for the temp (somewhere in the low single digits) but my face has never been colder, ever! Other than that I did not feel any effects from the cold. This race is supposed to be a 6K (3.73 miles) but it seemed longer, someone with a Garmin said it was 4 miles, which sounds more accurate to me based on the race times. The course was changed due to low temps. I have coveted a metal from this race for years. They are quite stylish round glass. I would have been overjoyed with 3rd place, so needless to say a 1st place in this race makes me very happy. In fact, based on the results posted after the race it looks like I was the top Master runner. Wow, that's not going to happen very often, especially in a race this size (800-1000) I suspect some fast boys slept in this mornining. Edit: After subtracting the walkers (47) there were 495 runners. 14 in my AG 77 masters.
